What the other posters on here listed is correct, and the ones I remember. My sister and I saw this movie on Saturday afternoon, November 3, 1984 in our local theater while in high school. Our grandmother drove us over to it, then our mother picked us up later. We wanted to go because we were big movie fans then, watched alot on our VCR and in theaters, and horror seemed to be our favorite kind of movie. Thus, this movie really did appeal to us then, with all the various clips from different horror movies, and an overview/analysis of them. We did recognize many of the movies then, and I did see this movie later on our VCR. I read on here that it was not on DVD, and is unlikely to be due to copyright problems. But it might also seem too dated now, simply because so many horror movies have come out since 1984. Then again, this was a good, varied, and diverse group it had, and included some real classics, so maybe that would not matter. But I did like this movie, thought it did very well in inserting the clips of all these movies into it, as well as giving a very thourough overview and analysis of the horror genre. And I thought the narration by Donald Pleasance and nancy Allen was very good as well.
